Bullying has been known to cause a lot of damages to people, and in extreme cases, the victims end committing suicide if they cannot handle the pressure. Due to the vulnerability level of children, they tend to be more exposed to bullying than any other person in society. The reason for this is the fact that may not know how to defend themselves, who report to or may be afraid to report especially in cases where they have been threatened. Women and teenagers are also vulnerable when it comes to bullying. Bullying is a global problem, and this is the reasons why organizations such as Childhelp were established to express the importance of sharing the love with other people. Everyone can do something to fight to bully, but how many people are willing to make this sacrifice? One of the individuals who has shown her commitment to fighting to bully is Chrissy Weems, the CEO, and co-founder of Origami Owl.
Chrissy Weems Efforts
Origami Owl is a jewelry company that has grown to be a successful business venture over the years thanks to the dedication of Chrissy Weems and her daughter Bella whom she was training on how to become a successful entrepreneur. Through its great achievement, Origami Owl has been participating in many charitable deeds, and this includes support of the campaign against bullying through Chrissy Weems. She was able to boldly and strongly come out in this campaign because she has childhood experience with bullying.

Most people do not know how to handle themselves when they get bullied or what to do when bullied. Also, some parents do not know how to handle the situation, and even when they realize that their children have been bullied, they either end up doing nothing or react in the wrong way and end making things worse for them and their children. Chrissy Weems targets to educate people on the dangers of bullying and on how to build an environment that does not tolerate bullying at all. This will help victims to speak up and also feel safe whenever they share their experiences. Young people also get to learn ways in which they can deter and resist bullying without violence. Organizations such as Childhelp has a program known as ‘speak up, be safe’ and is expected to encourage more people to share their story with confidence that they will get the help they need.
Being A Role Model
Fight against bullying needs people who are willing to take a sacrifice in different forms and this includes providing financial and emotional support to the victims. Chrissy Weems through the money earned from selling the ‘bullyproof’ jewelry will be able to support Childhelp to execute their anti-bullying programs especially the ‘speak up, be safe.’ When Origami Owl and Childhelp work together, there is hope that will not only create awareness of bullying problems but also assist the affected in getting the help they need.
